Kek Lok Si Temple and Pagoda Displays of Lights

Thursday, 9th of February which was the 18th day in the first month of Chinese Lunar Calendar. 3 days after the 15th day of the first month of Chinese Lunar Calendar, we had missed the displays of lights on the gigantic Kuan Yin statue. Rather than the miss, the displays of lights in Kek Lok Si Temple and its Pagoda were lovingly beautiful. I feel like visiting a heavenly paradise walking around in the temple after meeting up with my friends and had the famous Laksa down the hill.

The displays of lights in Kek Lok Si Temple when we had missed display of the lights on Kuan Yin statue.

The displays of lights of the Pagoda before and after.

The entire temple was well decorated with lightings. The combinations of light colors were fascinating and attractive! In addition, each of the lighted lanterns were attached with labels of labels of wishes made by the donators along the corridors as you are walking upwards to the Pagoda.

The lanterns with the attachments were hung alongside on the ceiling of the corridor.

Like I said, it was heavenly beautiful inside the Kek Lok Si Temple. In front of the lighted small Pagoda sitting a statue of Buddha in His pavilion can be found when you are walking upwards to the Pagoda. I still feel like living in a paradise looking at these photos, do you feel so?

We come here once in awhile throughout the year so getting lost on our way up to the Pagoda was kind of expected until we took awhile to figure out the route towards the Pagoda where the souvenirs' shop are located. A fee of 4 Ringgit Malaysia are collected at the entrance towards the Pagoda.

And so after making our wishes and rang the bell below the Pagoda, we made our way towards the highest level of the iconic Pagoda back in year of 1927 through the stairs. The Pagoda is also known as the Pagoda of 10,000 Buddhas. As we reached the highest level of the Pagoda, the first thing we enjoyed the most is the chilling mountain breeze which was so cooling and refreshing. Besides that, we were able to enjoy the panoramic night view of Air Itam from there before we headed home that night.
